Serologic surveillance provides a complementary approach to monitoring infections, though the link between serologically-derived infections and medically-attended disease \u2013 shaped by immunological, behavioral, and clinical factors \u2013 remains poorly understood. We unravel this cascade in a cholera-endemic Bangladeshi community by integrating clinic-based surveillance, healthcare seeking, and longitudinal serological data through statistical modeling.
